I hope by now that most eveybody has power . Center Point released us on Sunday and we just got in. It's was a long three day drive and 1400 miles . We worked in Conroe, Clevland and Houston ( not the good side ) . We did stay on lake Conroe at the Coves, It looks like a nice place maybe one day we can come back without the storm damage. I hope that we helped get some OSO lights on . Now it's time for a beer and a nap. :drink:

Got power back last Thursday around 5'ish. My wife used her charm on some guys from Maryland. I was working on the boat when they came to the house, so I am guessing that was not your crew or we would have talked:drink:

Thanks for helping us get back to normal.

thanks for the help around here 382, its people like you that keep the good old USA going!

Got mine Say afternoon - Thanks again!

I had power back on at the house after 18 hours thanks to a centerpoint superintendent living on our street. I took two weeks to get power at the office which had flooded.

Thanks to all you linemen for an excellent job.

Looks like a tornado missed the front of it by about 100 feet. I have about twenty trees down, five of which went down over the barb-wired fence. All in all, I'd say i'm pretty lucky compared to some of the stuff I've seen around the lake. Still no power but it is coming on all around us in the last few days. Thanks for all of the well wishes from the OSO fam.

Glad everything is ok, We stayed on Lake Conroe for about a week, It looks like a very nice lake. The first three nights was without power, There is nothing worse than being a lineman with no lights and there is nothing you can do about it . That Sucks and so does the cold showers. There was a big fire north of where we were staying , I was told it was a big home I hope everybody got out . Maybe one day we can visit without a storm. Take care and we hope you get your life back soon.
